Gamepad Layout by @wavebeem

The concept behind this layout is the left side of a computer keyboard, optimized with essential keys for playing FPS games. It was designed for TheVan RoadKit, but it should work for any 4x4 ortholinear keyboard.

I play with my pinky on Shift, thumb on Space, and the rest of my fingers on W A S D. I use my thumb for Control, X, and sometimes C. I usually use Z with my ring finger. It also helps to angle my fingers more perpendicular to the board in order to allow my thumb to more easily access the Z X C row.

The number keys 1 2 3 are missing for weapon switching, but you can usually switch with the mouse wheel or rebind those to Z X C or something else.

The key R for reloading is missing, but I prefer to use my extra mouse buttons for that.

I don't really use Alt for games, but I kept it around for Alt-Tab in Windows.
